  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

AND HOW CHRIST FORMED THE BODY OF CHRIST !!

Correct, it was a continuation of the ritual Jewish washings, that's why the Jews were not surprised by it.
Born Again is also for Israel

Born of God was for Israel
These are the same, and is not only for Israel as is proven by this text: "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God..." 1 John 5:1. Otherwise no gentile would believe in Christ.
Tongues was for Israel
"Tongues" was one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which was given to Cornelius (and others) who is a gentile. It surprised the Jews when they heard the gentiles speak with tongues: Acts 11:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God..."

And you meant Acts 10:45. and since WATER BAPTISM was still being practiced and in verse 44 and 45. the. HOLY SPIRIT

FELL UPON THEM. , and when was the last time you saw that happen , some 2000 years ago. !!

The word is actually `chief.` `...Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.` (1 Tim. 15)

Note that Barnabas and others were in the body before Paul. Barabas was an Apostle. (Acts 14: 14) And it was Barnabas who mentored Paul. (Acts 9: 27)

Yes, a good pattern that God saves from the uttermost to the uttermost.

However, you have not addressed `Barnabas, the apostle in Christ before Paul.

Hi dan,

Yes, there were many apostles given by the Lord when He ascended to the Father.

As to the 12 apostles of the Lamb, they are for Israel as we know and not for the Body of Christ. They will rule in the New Jerusalem over the new earth and in the new heavens. (Rev. 21: 14)

And He , meaning. Christ , indeed , the apostles , and the. p[rophets , and the. evangelists , and the pastors.

and teacher, and I consider myself. a Teacher , and mostly like to teach the Dispensation of the Mystery as

that is the GOSPEL. that Paul taught in 2 Tim. 2. :15 and in. Romans 16:25-26 and in. Eph. 3:2. and there are MANY MORE !!

Why would that be? Jews and proselytes are not gentiles.
AND the word PROSELYTES. does show in. Acts 2:10 and am at work and do. not. have my VINES GREEK DICTIONARY

with. me and just google it , BUT they. are considered. to be GENTILES and. embraced Judaism and put. themselves under

the LAW and had to be Circumsised, EXODUS 12:48. is. the best that I can. do for now !!

You're mistaken: "And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, 'This is the ordinance of the Passover: No foreigner is to eat of it. But any slave who has been purchased may eat of it, after you have circumcised him. A temporary resident or hired hand shall not eat the Passover. It must be eaten inside one house; you are not to take any of the meat outside the house. And you must not break any of the bones. LThe whole congregation of Israel must celebrate it. If a foreigner resides with you and wants to celebrate the Passover to the LORD, all the males in his household must be circumcised, and then he may partake, and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised man may eat of it.'"

A native of the land is Jew, no longer gentile.

That seems to be another misinterpretation, if only Israel will be born again — are you implicating non is as of now? — there are no gentile believers in our Lord Christ Jesus, because as I stated above you have to be born again to be able to believe that Jesus is the Christ.

There are four groups, not three:
1. Unbelievers
2. Children of God
3. Sons of God
4. Those who come to the body of Christ.

Except for #1 it is all a matter of faith, talking about millionaires doesn't make you a millionaire.

And can. you explain what BORN AGAIN MEANS ??

Or explain John 3:5 , Except a man be BORN. OF WATER and of the SPRIT , he cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven !!

IS being BORN AGAIN SALVATION ??

AND. is John to the BODY of Christ. ??

Being born again, being born from above and born of water and spirit are the same thing seeing from a different angle. In John 3:3 it states "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God", in John 3:5 the lord says it in other words to explain it to Cornelius: "Jesus answered, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." Please note John never talks about the kingdom of heaven, only about the kingdom of God. These two are not the same. The kingdom of heaven is the earthly rain of Israel with Christ as King, when the Lord returns, the kingdom of God contains heaven and earth. Hence the double promises to Abraham.

IS being BORN AGAIN SALVATION ??
No it is not salvation by itself, it is the first step on the way of salvation which has multiple steps as I mentioned in my previous answer.

AND. is John to the BODY of Christ. ??
No that is also not salvation by itself, it is the last step on the way of salvation. Like a school has classes in which students have to learn to go to a higher class, so is Scripture a study where we can rise to a "higher" class. Please note, it is all grace, nothing from ourselves.
